Vehicle Overview

Updated last year, the Volvo XC60 gets a handful of changes for the new year. The 2015 Volvo XC60 sports a few minor trim changes, in addition to Volvo's new lineup of Drive-E four-cylinder engines, bringing the luxury crossover's engine count to four, and upping fuel economy as well.

The 2015 Volvo XC60 shares its new Drive-E engines with the S60 sedan. The XC60 T5 Drive-E is powered by a 2.0-liter, turbocharged I-4 making 240 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is the only available drivetrain on this model. The next rung up the ladder is a 3.2-liter I-6. Available only with all-wheel drive, the 3.2-liter engine produces 240 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. The second Drive-E engine is another rung up. The front-wheel drive only XC60 T6 Drive-E has a 2.0-liter turbo and supercharged I-4 making 302 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Topping the XC60 engine lineup is a pair of all-wheel-drive, turbocharged I-6s. The XC60 T6 has a 3.0-liter, turbocharged I-6 making 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, while the sport XC60 R-Design boosts power up to 325 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. Eight-speed automatics back up the Drive-E engines, while the rest of the lineup sports a six-speed automatic.

The Volvo XC60 remains a solid player in the midsize lux crossover segment. It's comfortable, quiet, and relatively sporty. Most important, the XC60 stands out from the growing crowd of German luxury crossovers.

New for 2015

Though Drive-E engines are the biggest updates to the 2015 Volvo XC60, it also gets a handful of trim changes. Power front seats are now standard across the board, and power-retractable mirrors are now available. R-Design models also sport a new leather design.
